Now, 6 years and three documentary films later, documenting these trips have become a central part of what he does. In this article, Steven describes his recent documentary: Kenya, The Documentary Film.

James Kelty: Indie & Documentary Filmmaker
James Kelty has always considered himself more of a writer-director than an editor. But in today's ever changing production world, Jim recently found himself without the editor with whom he'd worked for years. It was at this point that he began calling longtime friend and Creative Cow co-founder, Ron Lindeboom, asking which way should he go to remain competitive. Ron encouraged Jim that he was a great storyteller and that editing would come natural to him using today's tools.
